From The Register [1]: "Two Weeks Notice On the bright side, at least Red Hat and Mandrake have policies that will allow me to plan, or to make other arrangements. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Debian 2.1 support debacle. On September 14th, 2000, the Debian project announced that, as of September 30th, support for Debian 2.1 would be dropped entirely." Seems that out there they do not realize that when Debian releases a new version of the operative system, we have gone through a process of making sure that in 99.999% of the cases an upgrade to a new package is supposed to preserve the old configuration files if they are compatible or provide an upgrade path/instructions in case they are not. They do not realize that when we release, we have verified that in most of the cases an upgrade from a previous release is painless. Or I am wrong? ;) mooch [1] http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/29330.html -- Jesus Climent | Unix SysAdm | Helsinki, Finland | pumuki.hispalinux.es GPG: 1024D/86946D69 BB64 2339 1CAA 7064 E429 7E18 66FC 1D7F 8694 6D69 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Linux user #66350 proudly using Debian Sid & Linux 2.4.20 Look at my fingers: four stones, four crates.
